Love the SHO, no questions asked.... I am looking at another car to play with...

Not a Chevy guy... so no...
Not a Mustang guy... Ford Nationals burned me out on that one....
Not a MOPAR guy.. cause why?
Not an Audi/VW guy... been there done that...

Curious if anyone has looked into the Civic Type-R... I know they are FWD.. but looks like they are pretty fun to build out?

I'm trying to find out what the top end power envelope for their drive train is...

Funny... they are out of fuel as well with a tune... they are waiting for an auxiliary fuel system or upgraded HPFP...

Should be a very capable platform, but then so is the Focus ST or RS.  I guess whatever choice you make should also be comfortable enough to prevent regrets ...

Yea except the SS doesn't have a blower and all the luxury I imagine Cadillac comes with. I'm not a fan of either but I think if I were to get out of the SHO it would be for a CTS-V or and Audi RS3 even though I dislike vw\audi.
I haven't really given it a whole lot of time thinking about what else I would drive for fun but those are my top 2 at the moment.

my next one is probably going to be an Explorer Sport or Platinum, done up some sort of like EcoHell did his.

if i will throw caution to the wind and splurge on price, i'll get a used 2020 Lincoln Aviator (the one with the 650 ft/lbs of torque) in about 2 years or a used R version Jaguar F pace SUV (if thats the right name).

the MKS is paid off and still fine mechanically (although there are some squeaks and rattles, especially with these horrible tires (Cooper G1s) i have now) just needs some paint work done on the trim.

SS can be blown (no pun intended) and would be a good sleeper.... I have seriously considered it more than once...

"Dude... did that Malibu really smoke that Z06?!?"

Problem is those SS come at a really high premium since they stopped making them...

True!  I'm not sure there is a range limit as we were looking at Honda's!  Just kidding 😇  A Duramax might be an option to consider.
